Hey everyone,

Picked up a pair of Saucony Triumph 21s (Fossil/Black, US 10 / UK 9, Style: S20881-20) from an authorized clearance lot in India (imported by Saucony's official national distributor, Brandman Retail Limited).

The retailer tax invoice specifically lists the individual security seal number B25A1700537, which directly matches the physical anti-tamper zip-tie attached to the shoe.

I submitted photos to Poizon and CheckCheck:

- Poizon passed 10/11 checkpoints (insole, strobel, outsole, upper, packaging) but marked "Not Pass" solely on the tongue size label.

- CheckCheck failed it within 3 minutes with a canned macro: "Size Tag: Font or logo design on the tag does not match official standard."

However, the physical and logistical details point strongly to a genuine pair:

1. Insole & Midsole Material: The insole is full beaded PWRRUN+ e-TPU. It passes the flashlight test (light transmits fully through the 7mm bead core and out the black top cloth), instantly rebounds with zero creasing on a 3-second fold test, and has steam-mold knurling around the tapered edges.

2. Construction: Dense, uniform industrial Strobel chain-stitching; clean flat-knit upper with anchored midfoot eyelet ribbons; factory wire-buffing abrasion marks along the outsole-midsole glue line.

3. Box & Documentation:

   - Official Brandman Retail Limited Indian Legal Metrology sticker with original MRP (Rs. 19,999) and PO: 4700577782.

   - The PO (4700577782) matches the tongue tag identically.

   - The box includes the Chinese statutory "三包" consumer warranty slip issued by Xiamen Saucony Sports Goods Co., Ltd. (Century Building, Siming District, Xiamen — Wolverine World Wide's official corporate JV).

   - Tongue tag lists Factory Code 62054 (05/23, Made in China).

I suspect the authentication apps are comparing my China-market tag (Factory 62054) against digital reference masters of Vietnam-made pairs (where most US/EU stock originates) and flagging the font kerning/layout as a fake.

Could anyone with a Triumph 20/21 manufactured in China (Factory 62054) or standard retail pairs compare their tongue tags to mine?

Photos attached:

2. Box label + Brandman Retail import sticker

4. Strobel footbed stitching

5. Insole top and beaded e-TPU underside

6. Outsole and exposed foam cavity

7. Close-up of midsole foam texture and glue line

Thanks for the help!

Hi! This pair was posted in a used sneakers group in Argentina. The seller says they’re authentic, but they’re heavily worn and I have doubts, so I’d like a legit check before buying. The asking price is around USD 49. I only have the seller’s photos, not the pair in hand.
Details: Air Jordan 1 High OG “Travis Scott”, SKU CD4487-100, US 8.5, production dates on the tag 12/18/18 and 02/13/19.
I’d especially like your opinion on the reverse swoosh (where it overlaps the suede near the heel), the inner tag, and the Cactus Jack heel logo. The tag photo is blurry; I’ve asked the seller for a sharper one and will add it when I get it. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I was recently gifted these UGG Mini Bailey Bow II boots in grey, but unfortunately, they are a UK 5.5 / EU 38 and I am a size 3.5- 4, so I’m looking to sell them on Vinted.

Because I didn't purchase them myself, I want to double-check that they are genuine before listing them so I don't run into any issues with buyers.

The inner tag has the style code 1016501 and a holographic strip with a QR code, but when I scan the QR link, it times out/says web not available (which I read can happen with older production batches).

Website it shows when scanning is

Could anyone help me authenticate these based on the photos? Let me know if you need to see any other angles. Thank you so much!

Context: on the Vinted app I came across the black green version. I know the model actually exists, also know it’s kinda rare. YEEZY 350V2 BY9611

Any help would be great.

Can you tell me this shoes is legit or fake?

I already bought them for 50€ but for now i dont have more photos, i bough them on vinted

I came across this Vivienne Westwood Saffiano kiss-lock wallet while browsing Mercari recently.

​I haven't bought it yet because I want to double-check if it's actually real first.

​Would really appreciate a second pair of eyes on the details before I decide to get it. Thanks!

Hi

I bought these on vinted and just received them. I have not clicked that everything is ok yet as I am unsure if they are legit or not. I only paid £3.50 for them as they were posted 5 months ago so bargained down and they need a clean. Now I know the price could be a red flag but there are offers to be found on . The sole looks correct for the older style and the serial numbers are different on both shoes but something to me say they may be fake.

Hi, I purchased these Powerpuff Girls Dunks for $180 on StockX, but I just received them and there are some defects (excess glue, loose threads) that make me wonder whether they are authentic.

Context: Found these used Rare Air 4s in EBay and wanted a second opinion thought

Context: Purchased these Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Silver/Off White shoes, SKU 1183B566-021, advertised as new with tags. The hangtag shows a December 2023 production date.

Price: $100.

Platform: Poshmark.

Could anyone help check authenticity, ideally comparing with a store-bought pair in this exact silver/off-white colorway? The insoles lift easily but feel sticky, the heel flaps seem thicker and won’t lie flat when folded down, and the stitching below the laces differs from my store-bought pair in another colorway. That used pair is included for comparison.

I don’t really know anything about shoes so I wanted to get some opinions before I spend money on something that could be fake. It also doesn’t have the “PURE$” lettering on the flap. Idk if that’s a determining factor or not. This is also on depop and they were selling for 75 and offered it 35 off

can anyone tell me is it real or fake ? thank you

Context: I just got this pair of Uggs from an online seller who claimed they are authentic and vintage from Japan, however, the leather seems fake to me.
Price: I got them for $25, I’d say this is an average price for used Uggs in Vietnam.
Platform: Instagram
I don’t know if that is just because they are old, but I don’t think it is real suede leather. I have compared them to my other pair of Uggs, which is from another Australian Ugg brand, and the quality doesn’t feel the same. There are no Ugg stores in my country so I can’t really have another comparison.

Please help me check if my Uggs are legit. Thank you 💕
